Reshape09

Here is the presentation I am offering at the Reshape09 summit in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Note to self: Next time you travel internationally and take a brief afternoon nap and therefore set you iPhone alarm to wake you in time for dinner, be sure when you reset the alarm for the next day that you change the designation from “p.m.” to “a.m.”

I overslept by about two hours this morning, but thankfully I had planned to get up four hours before my presentation, and thanks to Cisco (the guy, not the company) for the timely wake-up call.

Putting the “Global” in SMUG

When I first named our august institution of social media higher education, calling it Social Media University, Global was a bit of overstatement. Yes, through the world-wide Web it did have the potential for global reach, and I did already have some visitors from other continents, but clearly our institutional naming (and my self-designation as “Chancellor”) was, as the English say, “cheeky.”

Over the ensuing months the “G” became more deserved, or at least less ridiculous, as we reached the point at which we had SMUGgles from every continent (except Antarctica). We have continued to grow, with now more than 700 people having joined the SMUG group in Facebook.

But it’s one thing to have a global reach via the Web; it’s another to personally visit other parts of the world. Starting tomorrow, SMUG will officially become a little more global in reality, as I am at the airport in Rochester right now traveling to the Netherlands for two presentations. I will be arriving in Amsterdam at 9 a.m. Sunday morning and taking a train to Nijmegen, where I will participate in a series of events led by Lucien Engelen, including Reshape09 and the Health 2.0 Challenge. On Thursday we will go back to Amsterdam, where I will be presenting at the first international E-Mental Health Summit, and then I’m spending the night in London, where I will be visiting British media on Friday morning before returning to Minneapolis.

I look forward to an interesting adventure, and will be regularly reporting on the events here and via Twitter if you follow me.

If any of you have tips for international travel, or about the places I’m visiting, I would appreciate any guidance.

Health Care Social Media Summit Keynote

Here are the slides for my presentation on Monday, Oct. 5 at the Health Care Social Media Summit we’re hosting at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s been a pleasure working with Ragan Communications to develop the program, and I’m looking forward to presenting and to hearing from the other speakers. I’m sure we will hear about lots of great health care social programs and that it will provide inspiration.

With more than 130 slides in my one-hour presentation, I hope to create sensory overload while at the same time inspiring participants to both see the possibilities inherent in social media and to believe that it’s something they can do. By having the slides posted here, it will illustrate the value of Slideshare.net and also will enable participants to fully engage in the discussion without feeling a need to take notes compulsively. They can tweet updates as they hear interesting tidbits (as I recommended here), but can know that everything they’re seeing will be available for review at a more leisurely pace.

Update: Here’s the presentation that I failed to insert originally. Thanks @PhilBaumann for pointing that out:

ISHMPR Presentation in Sun Valley

Idaho has one of the unique state associations for hospital or health care marketing and public relations. It actually has a vowel in its acronym, unlike Florida (FSHMPRM), Wisconsin (WHPRMS) and Minnesota (MHSCN). But then again, they don’t really have a choice since their state begins with a vowel.

Here are the slides I’m showing as part of my presentation to ISHMPR today. You can follow and participate in the discussion on Twitter using the #ISHMPR hashtag.

Taking the Dutch Health 2.0 Challenge

I’m looking forward to my first trip to Europe in about 10 days, where I have been asked to speak at REshape 2009, the second Health 2.0 conference and the first international E-Mental Health summit.

The organizers of these conferences have set up an interesting contest, called the Dutch Open Health 2.0 Challenge, that will run during that week, from Oct. 12 to 15, with winners announced Oct. 16. They have a catchy video to introduce it:

This is one of those “need not be present to win” contests. I’m helping to organize a Mayo team, and looking forward to getting the full details on Oct. 12. Meanwhile, check out the challenge and consider entering a team of your own!
